James Henkle Brown [Parents] was born on 28 Oct 1851 in Adams Co PA. He died on 25 Jun 1925 in Abilene, Dickinson Co KS. He married 1 Sarah Adeline "Mattie" Hantz on 15 Aug 1872.

This data from Janice Coffee, from her notes of her mother, Bertha Thomas. - rhg We learned what the initial "H" stood for from the Hantz family descendants. In the course of trying to ascertain the Henkle found in his middle name, we tripped over a POST Rev War roster of men in the Philadelphia Militia, 3rd Battalion 1784. PA Archives., Vol III, 6th series, starting page 1057.

3rd Co. 1784 - Brown, John
6th Co. 1784 - Brown, Valintin (heh.)
7th Co. 1784 - Brown, William; Henkle, Jonathon; Schneider, Henry (heh heh)
---------------------------------------------------
We know (from Beryle Thomas McRae's notes) that William Milton Brown was James H. Brown's eldest son.

Marcia Franklin (St. Paul MN) has James H. Brown's birthdate as 28 Oct 1851. This is confirmed by his obit. We originally had 22 Oct 1852 - from Beryle's notes. His obit also mentions surviving children, and that all the children attended the funeral except "Will Brown." Also mentions that they had 9 children; two dying in infancy. This would have been Minnie and ?? Could the alleged twin of William Milton by one of the infant deaths? Obit also mentions that they moved to Dickinson Co in the Spring of 1882.

Kansas Death Cert: 21 3463: Died Abilene, township of Grant, Dickinson Co KS on 25 Jun 1925. Date of birth is listed as 28 Oct 1847 (we have 1851, same month and day); married (Spouse Adeline Brown); retired farmer. Birthplace: Penn. Father: John Brown b. PA; Mother: Rebecca Hinkel. (Adeline, his wife, was the informant.) Buried at Livingstone Cemetery.

~ Cause of death: Leukemia; contributory: Snyocarditis chronic. His wife, Adeline Brown, was the informant and she gave his birthdate as 28 Oct. 1847. However, when she stated his age - she gave 73 years old which reflects the birthyear of 1851 - hmm. - rhg We've also been given as birthdate of 22 Oct 1852 by unsubstantiated sources. - rhg

In Beryle's notes (from Janice Coffee) - they moved to Kansas in 1878. Her first name, as thought, was Susan, but we have learned her obit that her given name was Sarah Adaline. This and additional information from Marcia Franklin of MN, a descendant. She also notes that the family always referred to her as Adaline, not Mattie per Beryle's notes. - rhg

We attempted to retrieve a copy of her death certificate but the State of Kansas could find none. We have her obit with the appropriate dates, etc., so we know the data is true.

Brown) death certificate and she was the informant for same. - rhg 4/2003
